Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Insane policies
They have an insane policy that says the patient's driver must wait in the lobby for the entire oral surgery. I guess they think other that other people's time is not valuable. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and go somewhere else!

Implant Disaster
The consultation was very short, provided little to no explanation of the procedure, pain, or healing process. Higley rushed in for procedure, no explanation of how things went, no sharing of implant x-ray. Appointment made for 3 month test of implant. I called & was discouraged from coming in. At 2 weeks, with constant pain and low-grade fever, I begged to be seen. He said there might be a bone fragment that he might remove later. No x-ray taken. He denied it was the implant. Second opinion: by same-day extraction & implant, there was trauma, inflammation. Second follow-up with low-grade fever & constant pain; Higley said it was not the implant. Again, no x-ray or scan. Zero empathy. Zero respect. 2.5 months, pus oozed from implant site. Removed by different oral surgeon, infected & failed. Bone loss. PTSD from dental gaslighting. Extremely bad experience.

To learn you have to have your front teeth pulled because of root canal failure, then learn you have no bone to hold the implant and you have really thin gum tissue. my world fell apart. im in my forties so hopefully I have a lot of years left. Dr Higley saved my "face"

Were I to sum up my tooth extraction experience with Dr. Higley, I would adamantly say I was well taken care of in every aspect. Post-op consultation was fantastic. I was nervous to come in and have a tooth extracted, obviously, but I was put at ease by the kind staff, and their caring nature. My treatment plan helped me with my tooth problems, and I feel confident in continuing with restoration therapy with Dr. Higley and his staff.
